times square , [/font][/center]the crossroads of the world, more commonly referred to as times square, is the biggest landmark of both new york city and new york itself. the cultural hub, filled with theaters, music halls, and hotels, is enough to leave anyone speechless; even those who have been visiting since they were too young to read the flashing signs and recognize the models in the covergirl ads. the billboards and signs are worth the trip on their own, not to mention the opportunity to people watch. it can be quite the romantic experience, really, or you can choose to make it professional. either way, the experience is good for your culture.

tribeca The "Triangle Below Canal Street". Home to trendy restaurants and robert deniro's annual film festival, it is popular with the affluent trendy crowd and replete with trendy restaurants. unlike soho to the north, tribeca is not over-filled with shoppers on weekends, and greenwich street could be mistaken for the main street of a beautifully preserved small town.

lower manhattan at night it clears out considerably, though it is becoming an increasingly residential area, giving it more flavor than it has had in the past. wall street, the world trade center site, south street seaport, and battery park, a departure point for ferries to the statue of liberty and ellis island, staten island, and governors island are all in this neighborhood.

soho "south of houston street" flows north from canal street between the hudson river and lafayette st. the ultimate urban gentrification story, soho was a rundown industrial area until the 1960s, when artists began inhabiting its spacious and then-cheap lofts. After the artists came the galleries, then the celebrities, then the shoppers, and now the visitors. filled with gorgeous cast-iron architecture (greene street especially), soho is a great shopping and dining destination, even if many of the artists have moved on.

chinatown retains its scruffy, exotic atmosphere, especially around mott and canal streets. the diminishing little italy still exists on mulberry street (and comes out in full force for italian festivals such as the feast of san gennaro in september), but the surrounding blocks are morphing into fashionable nolita ("North of Little Italy") or have been annexed by chinatown.

east village gritty and diverse but redeveloping, this area lies east of broadway. pockets of ukrainians, japanese, indians and young professionals make it one of the most vibrant manhattan areas. the once-shabby area formerly known as alphabet city, centered on avenues a through d, is now considered part of the east village.

harlem and upper manhattan harlem, america's most famous black community, is home to an increasingly diverse mix of cultures. east harlem, the traditional center of latino culture in manhattan, has been joined by the lively, predominantly dominican neighborhood of west harlem, and washington heights to the north. washington heights is notable for fort tryon park, the home of the cloisters (the medieval annex of the metropolitan museum). at the northern tip of manhattan, inwood's claim to fame is inwood park, the last remaining virgin forest on the island.

roosevelt island an elongated strip of land in the east river between manhattan and queens. part of the island is actually across from midtown, but because of its quiet character, it really doesn't belong in the "midtown" category.
